Tolling started overnight on Dominion Boulevard Veterans Bridge

ALL NEW THIS MORNING,
ANOTHER TOLL STARTED...
NOW, ONE LOCAL CITY HAS
BEGUN
COLLECTING MONEY FROM
DRIVERS IN HAMPTON ROADS.
THE DOMINION BOULEVARD
VETERANS BRIDGE IS NO
LONGER FREE.
OVERNIGHT, THE CITY
STARTED CHARGING A DOLLAR
FOR THOSE WITH AN EZ
PASS.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE,
YOU'LL PAY THREE DOLLARS
PER TRIP.
RICO BUSH JOINS US LIVE
NEAR THE VETERANS BRIDGE
IN CHESAPEAKE.
AND RICO, YOU SAY THESE
TOLLING RATES WILL BE
GOING UP PRETTY SOON.
THAT'S RIGHT LEX AND DON.
THEY WILL BE GOING UP
FIVE PERCENT EVERY
YEAR UNTIL 2035,
ACCORDING TO CITY
OFFICIALS.
THE CITY SAYS IT WILL USE
THE TOLLS TO PAY FOR
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION
COSTS FOR
THE ROAD AS WELL AS
REPAYMENT OF BONDS AND
LOANS.
THE PROJECT COST ABOUT
$345 MILLION DOLLARS TO
BUILD.
THE NEW BRIDGE ON
DOMINION BOULEVARD SOARS
95 FEET ABOVE THE RIVER
AND HAS
FOUR LANES FROM
GRASSFIELD PARKWAY AND
INTERSTATE-64.
THE PROJECT BEGAN IN
JANUARY 2013. CITY
OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE
SPAN WILL HELP TO EASE
CONGESTION IN THE REGION.
THE CITY SAYS ABOUT
33-THOUSAND PEOPLE CROSS
THIS BRIDGE EVERY DAY.
IN 30 MINUTES, I'LL TELL
YOU WHY YOU WON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT DELAYS.
LIVE IN CHESAPEAKE, RICO
BUSH, 10 ON YOUR SIDE.
